Review in a Nutshell: Listen up, rat-brain! Just because a movie has an incomprehensible plot, hammy acting, ridiculous dialog, and goofy special effects does not mean it’s not the Greatest Movie EVER! Get that through your skull-bone!

I’ve certainly seen worse sci-fi films as well. What I think sent BE over the top in most peoples minds was a combination of the advertising hype, big-name stars, and it’s connection to Scientology.

Unlike most movies adapted from books covered on TGME I’ve never actually read the BE novel, and given that it’s generally considered only marginally more readable than the movie is watchable, I’m in no hurry to make up the lack.

A funny thing I’ve noticed regarding the toys that were released to tie into the movie is how many dios on the Internet use part or all of the Re-education chair as a prop for some sort of mad science thing

If I remember what I’ve heard of the book, the Psychlos actually comeback and blow up the Earth. However, Johnny and the humans all ascend to godhood when they are blown up a la the Force’s “if you strike me down, I’ll only become stronger”.

Nope, I have never been in any podcasts. I’m not wordsmith enough for this business, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to champion this gem of awesome cinema. I’m still miffed both of us forgot to go into detail on just how all the Psychlo’s were fantastic jerks to each other in each and every scene.
